Volvo XC40 is imported first and then made in China. The imported Volvo XC40 was listed in August 2065438+2008, and the price was 326,5438+0.8 million-465,438+0.10.8 million yuan. After nine months of "torture" of low sales, it finally ushered in domestic production in May last year. The biggest change is that the price is much lower than that of imported models. The manufacturer's guide price is 264,800-385,800 yuan, which is similar to that of Audi Q3 and Cadillac XT4 at the same level.
Volvo's domestic version of XC40 can be said to be highly anticipated, which can increase Volvo's sales, but the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Since the new car went on the market on May 24th last year, it has sold 758 vehicles in June, 1 178 vehicles in July, 125 1 vehicle in August and1vehicle in September. It seems that the overall sales volume is on the rise, but in fact, from the original insured policy to the cheap 25 thousand to the current 50 thousand discount, the price can be described as falling all the way.
The new compact SUV XC40 is similar to Geely Xingyue: both are the "first" CMA architecture models under their respective brands. The domestic Volvo XC40 continues the appearance of imported models and still maintains a simple Nordic style. Polygonal front grille, Raytheon hammer daytime running lights and L-shaped taillights are all Volvo family designs, which also make the new car more recognizable.
Volvo XC40 is positioned as a compact SUV. The length, width and height of the new car are 4425mm1863mm1652mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2702mm. This body size is not too eye-catching in the same class, and the overall space performance is quite satisfactory.
In order to reduce the price, Volvo XC40 is equipped with 1.5T three-cylinder engine, while other models are still equipped with T4 T5 engine. The transmission is matched with 8AT gearbox, providing four-wheel drive models. Meet the national six emission standards. On the suspension, the combination of front McPherson independent suspension and rear multi-link independent suspension is adopted, and the overall adjustment is relatively soft, focusing on comfort.
Judging from the competitiveness and price of XC40 products, there is almost no market. Real price reduction is the only choice for XC40. Although the Volvo XC40 has been reduced to less than 220,000, the preferential margin of 65,438+10,000 compared with S90 or XC60 is still far from enough. However, according to Volvo's consistent practice, XC40 is not far from improving the discount, and perhaps the market performance will improve after the preferential strength is improved. Now the range of 50 thousand is also worth shooting!
